The 25 Best Movies Directed by Women, Ranked
With this week's release of Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit, we’re looking back at the best female-helmed films of the 21st century.
From eye-opening documentaries to political thrillers and romance, a generation of women, including Bigelow, Sofia Coppola, Ava Duvernay and more, have brought viewers rarely-told stories from a unique point of view.
These are the greatest films coming from this talented crop of filmmakers, ranked by Metascore.
A biopic about the life of British playwright Andrea Dunbar, this film is part documentary, part performance, and features scenes from Dunbar’s play The Arbor.
“Moving, bold, unconventional and impeccably staged, The Arbor is a worthy tribute to a powerfully artistic voice.” —Anna Smith, Empire
